OP asks: Is there an IC for RF tranceiver?


Is there an IC for RF tranceiver?


There are available modules here


4) Why Is it difficult to use? How do you test it?


5) What is SPI , going back to those summitek rf tranceivers, who has tried using them? is it really $6 for a receiver+transmitter module? how much is the shipping cost?

6) I am planning to use it to control led matrix display
A huge one, probably 250x250. And put it along the highway, ads will be entered via rf

And finally;

7) Xbee might be the answer Xbee is far more expensive than the taiwanese modules but i've read the datasheet and can readily be a substitute to max232...is this true? but I inquired about the product here and they are selling it for twice the srp on the web

What I said was:


Does this means Per that I am forcing any solution on him??









Then Richard take that for :






And you people need explanation which is better >>among the two<< and which is not for that probably remote display data update/telemetry application? . Keep into account till now the OP has told us , he is unable to buy a complete workable module for such an outdoor application . Looking at the Ops experience and his lay man ship .I pointed out to leave this summitek.com modules for his outdoor / telemetry application as a little more smart Handel able solution >>Among the two<< looks like more feasible , as those summitek.com modules would be a pitfall for this display board application and it would be really difficult to get those modules work in industrial environments.

Now Richard , asks to let the novise decide for himself which is a better solution for him. Richard if he was that capable enough he wouldn’t have come to this forum . He want advise between the two, or as compared with the summitek.com low cost toys. He needs an educated guess about what possibly could be a workable solution ?

Now I am given a ride here .



In the first place , who said Richard is wrong ? . There are scads of modules / chip level designs out there , it is impossible to decide which is a better and which not . What can be done here is a comparative analysis between what capabilities OP have and, should be discouraged encouraged accordingly , . That too from what he has in his mind . It wasn’t me who provided the nRF part it was OP ? . It wasn’t me who provided the summitek.com link it was Richards . I compared between the two and helped the newbie with what among the two looks reasonable and trouble free . But No , even an analysis is taken sarcastic here . Do you want the forum to leave a newbie to decide which is better among the two for him , for that telemetry like requirement project .

Per has his own angle of thinking many people have , and on is free to do that:



For an outdoor telemetry like application its done usually from a remote link and directional antennas (if people have time they can take their loggers near the sign board and upload data accordingly). Speed could be an issue you cannot ignore there are no hard n fast rules .
Then you try to teach me like a child ‘that military stuff’ according to your own philosopy which fits you well .



You tell me does anyone takes a stunt plane in war and show stunts there . You take it for granted that OP wants to do stunts , hence leave him to decide what ever he feel like.



Would a little piper be a better plane to take 100+ people? . You give it a new look to this multidimensional cube .

What does this means , a Philosophy applies all way round mould it as per your requirements.


Now after this you didn’t stop you go further as you have gone with in the previous GSM thread to establish what yore viewpoint is right.



Fault finding is easy dear ? you very cleverly quoted an summed the remarks to PROVOKE Andy further ? . And you try to snub me with looking at only one dimension of your multi dimension cube. See what meanings you changed with your this post!



Exact meaning was:


But you picked up sentence that fitted you well . I am saying to suggest within limits, not leaving OP to keep guessing where his pocket is almost empty?.

Andy gives his statement , detracting my viewpoint between the summitek.com part and the Nordic ,by trying to make that a general view pint un necessarily. It is well known that the analysis I did was in between OOK/FSK module and Nordic part only . Did I presented the GLOBAL view that Nordic is the only one? Show me where? And Why do you think so ?

Again Per finds a fault :



Exact meaning was:



He doesn’t wants to take my particular comparison between the two but , wants to present his own Omni dimensional viewpoint , was that viewpoint under discussion? . I said COST to remind him OP cannot afford to listen to your Omni viewpoint.

Per again shows only one dimension of his cube:




What happened was:



Here again who is talking about the Global view point when in the first place it wasn’t asked for? Or I didn’t presented that to the the OP but a simple educated guess what looks more applicable and trouble free .

Per now how many times were you honest enough to point Erik making blatant remarks . He has done this a whole lot of timed. Did you find the time to tell him not to do that and write sanely. He keeps calling people to get their eyesight checked , Off rockers , get out of design etc etc are few to name . Did you read his violent Why-O-Why , Male cow manure ??? , or you simply doesn’t have courage to tell him? . If you didn’t have the courage to point him simply don’t point that to me either .

PS: Erik no personal remarks but a reference to the context , sorry if you find this not Good .





Good that you rely on Forums on that . But I ask manufacturers direct , not my fault .



I feel the other way round . You both don’t try to understand what is written . And try to present you Omni viewpoint , whether its asked by some OP or not but you will try to present it your way . What push the solution and all that . I only made an analysis between the the two modules as stated by OP and as stated by Richerd . Did I provide him any other than his ASKED part number show me where? .



You hear what you want to hear : I quoted this





Do read your comments again ! . And don’t imagine solutions for OP , let him stay within his limits .You were Nagging me when I try to say which among the two modules could be a better solution >>Between those two<< . Do take into account we cannot ask OP to use all what is their in our head but explain him which among the solution he is trying to use is a better one? . I have 100 examples to compare so many modules will this help OP in anyways what he is not even ready to buy a 50$ solution .



OP can google those names for himself ! . I have NO Take on his solution , he is not ready to spend and he asked “he wasn’t able to make up his mind” between the summitek.com parts and >>HIS<< earlier suggested >>Nordic part<< . I don’t do Imagination work for OP . I simply said if he wants to choose one from those two , the Nordic looks better than the summitek.com part .

That’s all there is to it . Richard correctly says not to waste time on this.


Bye
